Pretty sure that tjebarr didn't write the article. The article shows that there are disparities in who gets the money. There's probably more to the story but it looks like there was bias in handing out the loot.
All farmers, regardless of color, religion, etc, need Trump's socialist handout because Trump's federal government unilaterally cut their dicks off.
The free handouts = socialism. The free handouts came about because of protectionist trade.
We're not reducing it. We are exploding the government handouts and making farmers MORE dependent on the federal government.
I said there's probably more to the story. To get the funds, you had to apply for them. Maybe very few blacks (for some reason) didn't apply for the funds. I'd have to see more about the criteria for handing out the money. The question is why did the vast majority of the money go where it did. They needed to do interviews with those responsible for handing out the cash and let them respond to the author's concerns. The article probably raises more questions than it answers.
Let's get the USMCA passed immediately. China also has to be put in check. Unless you don't mind them surpassing us and controlling the worlds economy.
Blacks make up less than 2 % of farmers. Were hispanics and Latinos lumped in with whites. Article didn't clarify that. Would be important to know. Hispanic farm owners made up less than 21 % and half had sales of $ 10,000 or less.
No matter who they were intended for, the distribution of funds seem to be less than equitable while the reason(s) for that are unclear.
The USMCA is NAFTA, so have at it. We also should have signed onto the TPP and aligned with allies in China's neighborhood. China, as presently configured, is not over taking us as the world's largest economy, nor sniff "controlling" the world economy. Even with triple the amount of people. Aside from a pride thing, would it really matter? I don't see hurting US consumers and workers (ie Americans) to keep some sense of pride as the world's largest economy as a good thing. If they pass us, they pass us. More importantly, let's continue to improve our economy.
Still waiting on you to address why and or how tariffs will help us. Or even why they were needed. I'm sorry you have a problem with our unprecedented economy and riches of the last 40 years that came from FTA and freer global trade.
I promote the globalist way, not the socialist way. Meanwhile you promote the protectionist/socialist way. :joy::joy::joy::joy: Just because some **** is made in China doesn't make them control the world economy. What a laughable scared position that is. We still operate in a global currency of one (the US Dollar). We are a free society that replenishes itself with the help of immigrants. China is a walled off society with collapsing demographics (1 child policy) slaughtering minorities. Stop being scared.
